FAIRMOUNT PARK, PHILADELPHIA, PA
July 24-28, 2021
Greater & Greener 2021: Philadelphia, PA
Presented in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy
The Greater & Greener biennial conference explores how urban parks can be designed, developed, programmed, funded, and sustained to meet the challenges facing 21st-century cities. The COVID-19 pandemic has elevated a national dialogue on the essential role of parks in our cities, and Greater & Greener will continue to lead this conversation by bringing together experts to share lessons, network across sectors, and engage together. We continue planning for our in-person conference in Philadelphia in July of 2021, with weekend tours, mobile workshops, and breakout sessions, however, we are considering a number of contingency plans involving a variety of virtual and in-person formats.

- Six years ago I stumbled upon Greater & Greener and City Parks Alliance's websites, and six months later I attended Greater & Greener 2012 in New York. Greater & Greener changed my life, and I hope the conference inspires many to change the lives of others in their communities.
Luis Romahn Asociación Nacional de Parques y Recreación - I’ve just been energized. Meeting people from different parts of the country, and even parts of the world. I’m going back energized, and ready to roll up my sleeves and do great things for New York city.
Mitchell Silver New York City Parks and Recreation - We’re really pleased to be a sponsor. I can just see the energy that people have towards improving their own park systems and improving their communities.
